ArmInfo.On August 18, Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan paid a working visit to the Kotayk region, where he intends to familiarize himself with the implementation of subvention programs on the spot.
The Prime Minister's visit started from the Aramus community. Nikol Pashyan was informed here that for the first time in 40 years a kindergarten for 150 children is being built in Aramus within the framework of subvention programs. In Soviet times, there was a wooden building that fell into disrepair in the post-Soviet period. The community has about 4 thousand inhabitants. 433 million drams were allocated for the construction of the facility within the framework of the subvention program. The kindergarten will be built in October this year, after which work on the improvement of the territory will begin. 65% of the funds were provided from the state budget, and the remaining 35% from the community budget. It is curious, as Nikol Pashinyan noted, that most of the community's funds were formed as a result of legalizing illegal buildings, including restaurants. The kindergarten will be located on an area of 3 thousand square meters.
The Prime Minister was also informed about the construction of an intercommunal road, which will improve transport links with other settlements. The Prime Minister stated that the programs being implemented are a clear confirmation of the need to improve the quality of tax collection, including in the area of property tax.
"You must elect a head who will not steal, local residents would pay taxes that would be used to solve the problems of villages. Armenia is our common hearth, "the head of the government stressed.
During a visit to a local greenhouse, the head of government was noted for the lack of qualified personnel. In turn, Nikol Pashinyan noted that it is impossible for a good specialist to live poorly in modern Armenia.
He pointed out the importance of knowledge of foreign languages. And if a university graduate does not speak one of the foreign languages, it means that he wasted his time. "Agricultural products are exported to the EAEU countries, but if a person does not know the Russian language, he will definitely face serious problems," Nikol Pashinyan noted.
